Find Your New Best Friend
Meet our adoptable pets and change two lives: theirs and yours
Because many of our animals are transported to larger shelters within the state, it’s challenging for us to maintain an updated photo montage of dogs and cats in our care. Therefore, we highly recommend you check our Facebook page regularly if you are interested in adopting a new pet. Or, better yet, stop between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM ET, Monday through Saturday, and take a look at the available felines and canines in our care. Plus, remember you can always call (850) 670-8417 at any time if you are looking for a specific animal, breed, size, or age.
Our Animals
All of the animals we offer for adoption will have been spayed or neutered and have received the appropriate vaccinations for their age. You’ll also receive any medications the animal may still require and a sample of its usual food to help smooth the transition to your home. You’ll also receive a free bag of Science Diet food to get your pet started right.
How to Adopt
Complete an Adoption Application
If you are interested in adopting an animal, you must first fill out an Adoption Application. This helps us know more about your lifestyle and ability to care for a pet long-term. You must also be over 21 years old or have an adult co-sign the adoption paperwork. Click here to fill out the Adoption Application.
Set Up an Appointment
Please call to schedule an appointment with our Director once you have completed your application. We have a small staff, so it helps if you don’t show up unannounced. (Of course, you can always visit the facility to see what animals are available.) And, if you have your heart set on a particular animal you’ve seen on our Facebook page, please call us to confirm the pet is still available.
Bring a Buddy
If you have other dogs at home, please bring them to the shelter for interaction with any new dogs you hope to adopt. It’s important that your current pets get along with any new additions before you go through the adoption process.
Foster to Adopt
If you aren’t 100% sure you’re ready for adoption, but have your eye on a particular animal, ask about fostering first. In some cases, it’s possible to take the animal home for a short time to see if you and the pet click. You need to work out the details with the Director.
Pets of the Week
Finley
Looking for a happy-go-lucky puppy? Check out Finley! This 19 week old charmer is the perfect age to train and travel with. He’ll be a medium-sized dog and he sports a no-fuss coat that resembles formal wear. He loves everyone he meets (human, canine, and feline) and is a joy to be around.
Frank
Who could resist this face? Frank is a sweet, loving 19 week old mix who would make an excellent family pet. Currently, he’s only 25 pounds and so we don’t expect him to get too large as he ages. He sports a soft, wavy black and white coat and clearly has retriever or spaniel in him because he wants to carry and play with toys, pine cones, and branches. If you are looking for a handsome, smart family dog, you can’t go wrong with Frank.
Loretta
Talk about a sweetheart. Loretta is a 6 month old labrador mix with a stunning black/brindle coat. She’s great on the leash and small enough to easily go anywhere with you. She’s always smiling and sweet. She also gets along great with other dogs and doesn’t even notice cats.
